On the 26th of September Institute of World Policy with the support of the Swedish Embassy organised Street Eurouniversity in Cherkasy – the exhibition of caricatures which illustrate the benefits of European integration for Ukraine.The exhibition was opened by a lecture given by Marten Ehnberg, Deputy Head of the Embassy of Sweden in Kyiv, and Pavel Chrobak, First Secretary of the Slovak Embassy in Kyiv. Mr. Ehnberg said that Ukraine’s economy will only benefit from the Association Agreement with the EU. European diplomats also told Ukrainian youth about study abroad opportunities the EU has to offer and the advantages of European education.
Guests who visited our exhibition had an opportunity to discuss their questions regarding European integration with IWP experts – Alyona Getmanchuk, IWP Director, and Serhiy Solodkyy, IWP first deputy Director.
Street Eurouniversities were previously presented in other Ukrainian cities: Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia, Chernihiv, Nizhyn, Poltava, Sumy, Konotop, Kirovohrad, Kryvyi Rih, Mykolaiv and Kherson. Caricatures presented within this project illustrate two realities in around twenty social, economic, and political spheres of everyday life in Ukraine and in EU states. The authors of the caricatures are famous Ukrainian artists Maryna Turovska, Kostyantyn Kazanchev, Ihor Bezhuk and Oleksiy Kustovskyy. Pictures were ordered by the IWP.
Street Eurouniversity is a metaphorical title for public events, which aim is to support open discussion between civil society leaders and experts with ordinary citizens. Within this project we organise a series of exhibitions of caricatures which illustrate the most vital challenges of Eurointegration supplemented with relevant comments and facts.
